Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices bread of your choice
  • 1 big handful of fresh basil
  • 5 - 6 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 2 thick tomato slices
  • olive oil for drizzling
  • spreadable butter
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat up large skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each piece of bread.
  • After the pan is warmed up, begin assembling the sandwich in the pan.
  • First slice of bread, butter side down. Layer half your basil leaves over the bread, and drizzle olive oil over the basil. Add half the cheese, your tomato slices, and the other half of the cheese. Then the rest of the basil, again drizzling with olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste, and the second slice of bread, butter side up.
  • Cover pan and cook for 2 - 3 minutes. Flip carefully (those tomatoes want to come out!) and cook for another 2 - 3 minutes on the other side. Let cook slightly, and enjoy!
